What is Energy Medicine?
“Energy medicine is both ancient and cutting edge, both science and art.” – Ellen Meredith, DA, EEM-AP
Energy Medicine is a healing modality which started over 5000 years ago in Chinese medicine and has been practiced by various cultures throughout the ages. Our body consists of this vital, living, moving force that determines much about health and happiness. Electromagnetic and more subtle energies form the dynamic infrastructure of the physical body. The flow, balance, and harmony of these energies are reflected in the health of the body. Conversely, when the body is not healthy, corresponding disturbances in its energies can be identified and balanced. Energy Medicine is both a complement to other medical care approaches and a complete system for self-care. It can help address physical illness and emotional or mental disorders. It can promote a high level of wellness and peak performance.
Our body consists of a complex and intricate dance that is continuously happening between multiple energy systems. These energies need to maintain a balance with one another. Energy needs to move in harmony, in specific patterns, and to have space to continue to move. Energies may lose their natural balance due to prolonged stress or other conditions that keep specific energy systems in a survival mode. You heal the body by activating its natural healing energies and restoring energies that have become weak, blocked, disturbed, or out of balance, due to toxins, muscular or other constriction, prolonged stress, or interference from other energies. Over time, this results in illness or loss of vibrant health. The flow, balance, and harmony of these subtle energies of the human body, can be non-invasively rewoven, rebalanced and restored by the hands of a skilled Energy Medicine Practitioner.
Energy Medicine is a more precise way of activating, restoring and supporting the body’s own healing processes, while remaining non-intrusive to the body and safer than conventional medical techniques. Energy Medicine employs the use of energy pathways called meridians, chakras, acupressure points, the body’s electromagnetic polarity and auric fields to access, balance and retrain our energy flows and systems to bring harmony to the imbalances that may be caused or causing disease and illness.
“Conventional medicine, at its foundation, focuses on the biochemistry of cells, tissue and organs. Energy medicine, at its foundation, focuses on the energy fields of the body that organize and control the growth and repair of cells, tissue, and organs. Changing impaired energy patterns may be the most efficient, least invasive way to improve the health of organs, cells, and psyche.” — David Feinstein, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist, Author, and Pioneer of Energy Psychology.
